How to get rid of "press << to stream program from beginning" message.

Whenever I look up info on a show I am watching, I now get a message that says "press << to stream program from beginning".  It never used to have this and now you can't read what the show is about because this message covers it up.  It is very annoying and I can't figure out how to remove it.

Hi there. We understand that you want to remove the On-Screen message "Press << to stream program from beginning". This happens when you tuned into a channel that already buffered. This gives you an option to rewind and watch the video that already buffered. You can get rid of the message by pressing any key on the remote. Alice, DIRECTV Community Specialist

I tried pushing several of the buttons but none have been successful to remove the message in order to “read more” about a program. Are there any other suggestions to remove this message from screen?

This has been a recent addition to my service. When I go to my dvr list it appears and nothing will make it go away. I agree this is very annoying.

If it appears during programming, pressing exit will work but not when you enter the dvr recording list
